On edge covering up, for example, engineering group in administration (6)
I believe the answer is:
regime
'group in administration' is the definition.
'regime' can be an answer for 'administration' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'group in' bit.
'on edge covering up for example engineering' is the wordplay.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'edge' becomes 'rim' (rim is a kind of edge**).
'covering up' indicates putting letters inside.
'for example' becomes 'eg' ('e.g.' can be a synonym of 'for example').
'engineering' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'rim' going around 'eg' is 'regim'.
'regim' next to 'e' is 'REGIME'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for regime that I've seen before include "Governing authority or therapy plan" , "Routine" , "Government - administration" , "Form of rule" , "Prescribed course" .)
